Ground Provisions
Ground Provisions I learn about ground provisions, from my grandmother who tells my 12 year-old self, "You don't need to eat meat everyday." She tells me about ground provisions- yam, cassava, eddoes- food that grows underground, "Slave food," she says, "and breadfruit too." "These are the foods that sustained our ancestors- Slaves. These are the foods that have sustained us." "You don't need to eat meat everyday," my grandmother says, while making oil down, all you need is ground provisions.
